Nevermind, I figured it out, I adjusted my fetcher.max.crawl.delay accordingly and it solved the issue. Macys.com has a crawl-delay of 120, nutch by default has a crawl delay of 30, so I had to change that and it worked. You guys must either make the crawl delay to -1 (something I dont recommend, but I did for example purposes), or to over 120 (for macys.com) in order to crawl macys.com
<property> <name>fetcher.max.crawl.delay</name> <value>-1</value> <description> If the Crawl-Delay in robots.txt is set to greater than this value (in seconds) then the fetcher will skip this page, generating an error report. If set to -1 the fetcher will never skip such pages and will wait the amount of time retrieved from robots.txt Crawl-Delay, however long that might be. </description> </property> On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 6:31 PM, Nima Falaki <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sebastian: > > One thing I noticed is that when I tested the robots.txt with > RobotsRulesParser, which is in org.apache.nutch.protocol, with the > following URL > http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-dont-forget-me-split-t-shirt?ID=1430219&CategoryID=30423&LinkType= > > It gave me this message > > 2014-06-02 18:27:16,949 WARN robots.SimpleRobotRulesParser ( > SimpleRobotRulesParser.java:reportWarning(452)) - Problem processing > robots.txt for > /Users/nfalaki/shopstyle/apache-nutch-1.8/runtime/local/robots4.txt > > 2014-06-02 18:27:16,952 WARN robots.SimpleRobotRulesParser ( > SimpleRobotRulesParser.java:reportWarning(456)) - Unknown line in > robots.txt file (size 672): noindex: *natuzzi* > > 2014-06-02 18:27:16,952 WARN robots.SimpleRobotRulesParser ( > SimpleRobotRulesParser.java:reportWarning(456)) - Unknown line in > robots.txt file (size 672): noindex: *Natuzzi* > > 2014-06-02 18:27:16,954 WARN robots.SimpleRobotRulesParser ( > SimpleRobotRulesParser.java:reportWarning(456)) - Unknown line in > robots.txt file (size 672): noindex: *natuzzi* > > 2014-06-02 18:27:16,955 WARN robots.SimpleRobotRulesParser ( > SimpleRobotRulesParser.java:reportWarning(456)) - Unknown line in > robots.txt file (size 672): noindex: *Natuzzi* > > *allowed: > http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-dont-forget-me-split-t-shirt?ID=1430219&CategoryID=30423&LinkType= > <http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-dont-forget-me-split-t-shirt?ID=1430219&CategoryID=30423&LinkType=>* > > > This is in direct contrary to what happened when I ran the crawl script > with > http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-dont-forget-me-split-t-shirt?ID=1430219&CategoryID=30423&LinkType= > as my SeedURL > > I got this in my crawlDB > > *http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-dont-forget-me-split-t-shirt?ID=1430219&CategoryID=30423&LinkType= > <http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-dont-forget-me-split-t-shirt?ID=1430219&CategoryID=30423&LinkType=> > Version: 7* > > *Status: 3 (db_gone)* > > *Fetch time: Thu Jul 17 18:05:47 PDT 2014* > > *Modified time: Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 PST 1969* > > *Retries since fetch: 0* > > *Retry interval: 3888000 seconds (45 days)* > > *Score: 1.0* > > *Signature: null* > > *Metadata:* > > * _pst_=robots_denied(18), lastModified=0* > > > Is this a bug in the crawler-commons 0.3?
